Call for Poetry Submissions: Glass: A Journal of Poetry

Glass: A Journal of Poetry (ISSN 1941-4137) seeks poems for it's upcoming December issue. Full information about Glass, including submission guidelines, can be found at our website.

Glass is an online poetry journal that appears two times a year (June and December). We want to see poetry that enacts the artistic and creative purity of glass. We seek to promote new and established poets by publishing their work. We are not bound by any specific aesthetic; our only mission is to present high quality writing. All styles, forms and schools of poetry are welcome, though easy rhymes and “light” verse are less likely to inspire us. All will be judged on the quality of the content of the poem. We like poems that show a careful understanding of language, music, passion and creativity and poems that surprise us.

Volume Six Issue Two will include a special featured theme section: Great Lakes Poets. The issue goes like on December 31, 2013 and the deadline for Great Lakes Poets submissions is November 30, 2013.

Submissions should be sent to our email address and should include up to four poems pasted into the body of the email. Simultaneous submissions are accepted. We accept submissions between September 1 and May 31. Please read our submission guidelines carefully.

Sincerely,

Call for Submissions: Rock and Sling

Rock & Sling, a journal of witness, seeks prose submissions for our next issue, Spring 2014. Rock & Sling views literature as a means of witnessing to the truth of human experience, often (but not necessarily) as it relates to faith. We seek essays and stories that challenge our assumptions, that expand, clarify, argue, rail, surprise, stun. We seek prose that shocks with its quality, not with its shocking tales.

We welcome lyric essays, personal narratives, hybrid forms, microfiction, short stories. Nondenominational prose.

To prevent our undue anxiety, please submit work by November 20.

Visit our website for full submission guidelines.
